I finally concluded that it was our duty not to help these unfortunates on their downward course, but to save them. It seemed to me it was up to the police to learn to know the differ ence between a thief and a mischiev ous mitn or boy. And why not? I decided to experiment. I determined my policemen use their best human instincts. I propose my men should exercise that discretion which the judges don't always exercise.

FOR BABIES' SAKE Chicago Physicians and Nurses Form a Merciful Trust SCIENCE OF INFANT CARE Kindergarten For Young Mothers Splendid Purposes Founded on Un failing Methods Hundreds of Trained People In It NEW YORK, June 2.-Physician and representatives of fifty hospitals, charitable and municipal organiza tions, nurseries and diet kitchens banded themselves together at a meet ing held at the Department of Health to cooperate with health commis sioner.

As marny milk depots, physicians and nurses as needed will be supplied to each district. It was also decided to issus cards of instruc tions to mother, which it is said will be radically differenct from those sent out before. The cards will be dis tributed by thousands. Besides giving explicit instructions on the feeding, clothing and bathing and necessity for fresh air for babies, the card will give the location of the milk depots in each district recreation centers, recreation piers, hospitals and all other agencies for the assist ance of the mothers. The campaign of education is to begin at once. More than eighty nurses will be employed who will hunt out every home in the city where there has been a birth since April 1 and begin instructing the mother how to care of her children.
